What is Travel Leaders International?
We are a fresh, new organization with a unique
approach to travel management. Not only do we
manage corporate travel, but also we manage
meetings and events along with leisure and luxury
travel through the largest DMC network in the
world. This creates a unique value proposition
for all our customers, as we have the scope and
flexibility to handle their complete travel needs.
Even though we are a relatively new organization,
we possess many years of history and experience
servicing multinational accounts. Many of our
exclusive international partners have been working
together for over 30 years as part of another
global TMC that was sold last year.
How does Travel Leaders
International benefit travelers?
The largest travel agencies in over 80 countries
belong exclusively to Travel Leaders. This global
partnership allows us to provide a wide range of
services around the world, all with a personalized,
local touch. So no matter where our travelers go, they
will be in the good hands of our trusted partners.
That peace of mind is valuable in today’s chaotic
world. Political, social and economic factors impact
travelers daily. Travel Leaders International has the
ability and the agility to react quickly across the
globe, providing assistance and services whenever
and wherever they are needed.
Which products or technologies
does Travel Leaders International
provide that travelers should
take advantage of?
While we do work with a number of new technologies,
we use them to enhance services, not replace people.
And every tool we do use goes one step further than
anything else currently in the marketplace.
For example, we have an airline solution that
secures better NDC rates and guarantees real-time
train bookings, among other things. Our reporting

analytics taps into the predictive behavior of your
travelers, so we can predict future spending patterns
to determine new possibilities to save. Our passenger
safety tool not only tracks the whereabouts of
your passengers, but it uses artificial intelligence
to predict dangerous scenarios and provides
evacuation services when needed. And our app
incorporates a communications tool that makes it
easy to connect directly with live travel professionals
24/7 through WhatsApp.
How can Travel Leaders International
make meetings and events easier?
The way we treat meetings is different from
traditional travel management companies. We
have an entire company called YES (Your Event
Solution) that is 100% dedicated to worldwide
events management. We assign different levels
to each event, provide a unique suite of tools and
technologies to suit each level. This means we
can personalize our solutions to each company
and event.
